Armeena Khan, a strong social activist, finds herself in hot waters from time to time for speaking her mind. From Syrian refugees to cyberbullying and racial discrimination, Khan has voiced her opinion on all such controversial topics.

Recently, Awami Muslim League’s (AML) Sheikh Rasheed passed abusive comments on people from the entertainment industry on live television and this sparked the actor’s anger who wrote, “Who is this man? Why is he using such abusive language against the film industry? Why is such obscene language allowed on mainstream television?”

I am embarrassed FOR this man. I mean, how do you just sit there and make such statements without realising the wider ramifications. It chills me to the bone. I mean is he educated? What background does he come from? In the UK, he wouldn’t be allowed anywhere near public office. https://t.co/mXN3RUxhOy

When one Twitter user agreed with Rasheed’s comments, Armeena schooled him too saying, “So do shaadis don’t have naach gaanay? Does that mean that everyone partaking in wedding songs and dances are k*****?”

Calling out the hypocrisy, Armeena quizzed, “What is the act of selling the soil of your motherland to corrupt politicians called? In the wider world, only the best, educated and talented people can dream of doing what we do as artists.”

What do you call selling the soil of your motherland to corrupt politicians? In the wider world, only the BEST, the most educated, the most talented can dream of doing what WE do I.e being artists. Real K’s can only dream of this so what do you do? Dream or sell? https://t.co/WUBDvdc6TJ

Some Twitter users also dragged Reham Khan into the conversation to which Armeena said, “I’ve never picked any political sides. My tweet has NOTHING to do with anyone or their book but everything to do with the creative industries of Pakistan.”

🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve never picked any politicial sides. My tweet has NOTHING to do with anyone or their book but everything to do with the the creative industries of Pakistan. https://t.co/RQgydb5aTr

In the end, addressing all the haters, Khan said, “And all you dinosaurs coming onto my timeline abusing me because of some supposed “support” that you’ve concocted in your mindless, empty heads. Hear this, my family supports PTI. I’ve supported Mr Khan in my own way. BUT I do question bad language and abuse used by this sheikh.”
